Here is an article from Youthville Farm & Ranch Program, Dodge City, Kansas
THE LESSON OF POOH
There is no horse on Youthville's Farm that is ornerier than Pooh. Put Pooh in the corral with other horses and he'll bully the smaller horses, bite at the mares. Put Pooh in the stall and he'll kick on the door, demanding his breakfast. Put a rope on Pooh and he'll untie himself from the post before you can get this saddle on. Why do we keep Pooh around?
Group therapy on the Farm uses the horses to teach the kids lessons. Sometimes the lesson is about trust, sometimes it's about appropriate boundaries. Sometimes the lesson is about how to get along with others. And that's where Pooh comes in. This past fall, a girl we'll call Sarah came to the Dodge City campus. She was a very angry girl, and rightly so. Her past was a sad, horrific story. Sarah couldn't make friends, couldn't get along with the other girls in her cottage. She would bully the smaller girls and demand her way at all times. No one liked Sarah. She pretended it didn't bother her, but everyone wants friends.
One day during her therapy session with the horses, Sarah was given Pooh to work with. Pooh bit at another horse. He tried to rub his saddle off on the fence post. He was just being Pooh. Finally in exasperation, Sarah threw up her hands and announced  she hated Pooh and was tired of working with him. The therapist asked her why, and she had a list of complaints about Pooh's bad behavior. "So", asked the therapist, "you can't get along with Pooh because he refuses to play by the rules and won't be kind to you or the other horses. Is that it?" Sarah agreed that it was. "Have you ever noticed that some people are like that as well? And it's so hard to be friends with people like that, isn't it?" the therapist continued.
Sarah agreed and remained silent for the remainder of the session. The next week during her therapy session, it was a new Sarah working with Pooh. In a very short time, Sarah had several friends in her cottage and was learning to get along with others. Sarah had learned the lesson of Pooh.
